A few months ago Oxygen were being hush-hush over what King of Clubs entails, claiming it to be “this summer’s most unusual gameâ€. Going by name alone, The Official PlayStation 2 Magazine assumed it was a nightclub management sim and even wrote a news story reflecting that. That couldn’t be further from the truth: it’s …
Well, sort of. The new Argos catalogue has a couple of bizarre online game gizmos that are interesting enough to warrant an article on these hallowed pages. In our day the nearest we got to playing online was tying two cans together with string then shouting rude words in either end. Swypeout: Battle Racing is …
Flipendo! Harry Potter has been knocked off the top spot by Pokemon Diamond. Transformers: The Game stays at #2 with Pokemon Pearl at #3, thus pushing the pubescent wizard down to #4. Nintendo Europe must be pleased: three of their brain training titles also in the top ten, as well as Wii Play. Rugby 08 …
Although none instantly spring to mind, I’m sure that some videogames have made their first appearance at the annual Comic-Con in the past. This year there were quite a number, which might be down to the fact that E3 was scaled down. LEGO Indiana Jones was the biggest surprise; everybody thought that Travellers’ Tales would …
It wouldn’t be a surprise if Pokemon Diamond & Pearl goes on to be the best selling DS game of 2007, although it might struggle to knock Harry Potter and Transformers off their lofty perches in the chart. We reckon that Diamond will outsell Pearl though. There’s only one other DS game out this week, …
The tankers which bring fresh water to flooded areas are known as bowsers. Good that he can help.
Notorious ‘interactive’ cartoon thing Dragon’s Lair is being re-re-re-release on both HD-DVD and Nintendo DS later this year. The DS version will require the handheld to he held on its side, a la Brain Training, and will also feature voice recognition. We can give you the review score now if you like.
We don’t fully understand the idea behind the magnet peripheral that comes with the newly announced Slide Adventure: Mag Kid on DS, so bear with me. This Japanese TV advert would suggest that instead of controlling the main character – a caterpillar – you have to rub the DS over a solid surface to make …
Transformers: The Game hasn’t been able to shove Harry Potter off the top spot of the multiformat chart, but it’s lodged in at #1 in both the PlayStation 2 and Xbox 360 charts. It would appear that Nintendo owners don’t care for colossal robots – it’s only #11 in the Wii chart and hasn’t even …
Just when we thought that Rockstar were playing it safe on Wii with Table Tennis as their next game, they go and announce a Wii version of the controversial Bully (nee Canis Candem Edit). The Xbox 360 will also be on the receiving end of Bully: Scholarship Edition, which is due out this winter. It’s …
So, Transformers: The Game. If you haven’t the time to read our review, here’s a quick rundown: it looks really nice, and smashing stuff up then lobbing it around is fun, but the mission objectives are blander than a stale cheese sandwich and the boss battles are devoid of all creativity. In the opening FMV …
When the new-look Transformers models were shown off for the first time, fans moaned about Bumblebee being turned from a Volkswagen Beetle into a Chevrolet Camaro. The creators explained that it was because they didn’t want their super-realistic movie to include a bright yellow clone of Disney’s Herbie, which makes perfect sense to us. Fans …
The first Stuntman game was frustrating to the extreme, resembling a memory test rather than a racing game in places. This fact wasn’t helped by the way that every time you had to restart a level – which was pretty often – it had to load again from scratch. Thanks to modern technology, there are …
Peter Moore’s only gone and left Microsoft, hasn’t he? The former Sega man – who will therefore always be of interest to me – is moving to EA, heading up the EA Sports Label. Moore worked for Reebok at one point, so he’s got all the requisite experience. Probably. Don Mattrick – once an EA …
Rockstar have announced their second Wii game. It’s not a Wii-make of Canis Candem Edit or any of the recent Grand Theft Autos, but rather the year-old surprise Xbox 360 hit Rockstar Games presents Table Tennis. They’re going for the casual market, it would seem, which is probably a safe bet given that their next …
